Then you'd better look at 8-8-10 (Fed change for 2002)
Section is entitled "Runner is not out"
"Art.10...The runner is not given sufficient time to return to a base. The runner will not be called out for being off base before the pitcher releases the ball. EFFECT: "No Pitch" will be called by the umpire and the runner(s) will be permitted to return to the proper base(s) without penalty."
